A group of East Texas businessmen, including a former Olympic gymnast, recently opened Air U, an indoor trampoline facility, in the 400 block of Ashley Ridge Boulevard, just off of Ellerbe Road in Shreveport.

"One of our partners, Chris McNabb, was on the '96 Olympic exhibition team for tumbling and trampolining," said Robert Murphy, co-owner and director of operations for the two centers. "He's an amazing gymnast and well respected. When Chris started talking about a dream of a sort of place kids could travel to, full of trampolines, we put our heads together and that's how Air U was born."
